Real estate development firm Douglas Development has acquired 5700 Rivertech Court in Riverdale, MD. The sales price was $11.3 million.

The three-story, 150,898-square-foot office building is currently 46% occupied and sits on nearly seven acres in the Discovery District at the M Square Research Park, Maryland’s largest research park. Current tenants include U.S. aerospace manufacturer Raytheon Technologies Corp., Fraunhofer USA, a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization and the University of Maryland.

“We saw a tremendous buy opportunity and jumped on it, and we are 100% confident in our ability to increase occupancy at 5700 Rivertech Court and add value,” said Norman Jemal, managing principal at Douglas Development. “We know and have deep experience in this market, and it has historically been very good to us. The University of Maryland is a spectacular draw and economic engine.”
